get all the cocoon recordings compilations you can. All are arranged by letter. I have em all on my one of my 4 soulseek ... BaD-CooL ... accounts. I spend 25% of my time at 4 different houses, if you're wondering, each one has a different computer of mine -- one is shared -- and each has a diff slsk with different files. Haha. But the BaD-CooL one is... yep. cocoon recordings - cocoon compilations a-j. That's like 10 albums.
Each one has the most cutting edge inventive mindblowing electronic stuff ever. Exclusive tracks, natch, from some of the most exciting and mindbending artists to ever work in electronic music, past present and future. I mean, if you wanna flat-out discover some new geniuses to spend all your time listening to, here ya go. Track after track of completely unconventional brilliant stuff. People always ask "who's the next Autechre?" or whatever. Basically, who's the next person to push electronic music beyond its limits. I think you will find your answer consistently amongst Cocoon's roster, represented with great respect (I mean, they regularly let these songs go on for 8+ minutes; no edits here).
I'm not ahuge fan of compilations but since electronic music is so consistent, some of my favorite albums -- NIGHT SLUGS, 5 YEARS OF HYPERDUB, ACID ATTACK, and so on -- in this genre have been compilations. Maybe cuz they never get old, and even though there are some base similarities by default, there are enough differences to make every track fresh and exciting, even with tons of artists you never have heard of. It's so easy to jump right in and listen to a fresh batch of brilliant new electronic artists.
cocoon recordings - cocoon compilations... experimental electronic gold, basically.
